In a dazzling display of cross-border collaboration, Egypt’s New Administrative Capital is rising from the desert like a real-life ‘Dune’ meets ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ – but with more cranes and fewer sandworms. 🌵🏗️
At the heart of this $58 billion mega-project? A powerhouse team where Egyptian and Chinese engineers work side-by-side, led by Wang Yao – the only woman among ten project managers shaking up gender norms in construction. 👷♀️💪
‘It’s not about where you’re from,’ Wang tells us via video call from the site. ‘When we’re troubleshooting elevator systems or finalizing glass façades, we speak the same language – precision.’ 🔧📐
Their 2023 milestone? Delivering 20 futuristic high-rises in the Central Business District – think neo-art deco towers with solar-paneled crowns, creating a skyline that says ‘Ancient Egypt meets Blade Runner 2049’. 🌇⚡
Fun fact: The site uses 3D printing for custom architectural elements and AI-powered logistics to beat sandstorms. Because building a city in the desert? That’s next-level climate adaptation. 🌪️🤖
